I’ll add another suggestion. Make sure you do your instrument training in a glass cockpit trainer. Most schools investing in newer equipment will have a Garmin G1000 suit for the flight instruments. Even better are the newer ones with a better integrated autopilot. The older ones seem to have a non Garmin autopilot that doesn’t really work well with the G1000. Download a Garmin 1000 user guide and any POH for your trainer that has the advanced cockpit info as part of the manual. Then do a deep dive into the flight/Nav system. It’s very dense and will only make real sense when you use it. BTW, interview the instructor and ask how familiar they are with the glass and how much teaching they have done with it. More experienced the better.
